Clearwater Jet Boat

The shallow-water capabilities of Clearwater's Coast Guard–certified jet boat allow the expert captains to venture where other tour boats fear to paddle. During the 40- to 60-minute ride, which takes off from slip 20 in the Clearwater Municipal Marina, maintain girded loins for quick turns and wave-spewing slides, while scanning the horizon for local wildlife. Bear wet witness to all manner of fish, dolphins, exotic sea birds, and even occasional manatees.
